good motherboard for my build?

yes it is good but overkill IMO. Are you going to run 4 way SLI!?

Look into some of the Gigabyte UD3/4 models. Great for the price.
 
although you will get a ton of probs with gaming as drivers for multiu gpus on both brands always have a ton of bugs, and some games will just hate you and basically suck performance wise.

Way Way Way over exaggeration. True there are some bug, but not anywhere near what people claim. I do think 3 and 4 way SLI and C/F is overkill
 
well everytime someone talks about them everyone posts the problems like they kill the idea almost, and obviously i haven't tried it ;)
 
Ive never had an issue with crossfire or sli. Anything more than 2 cards is only useful at uber resolutions or specific applications.
 
at that resolution, just 2 way SLI 3GB GTX580s would be plenty. High resolutions needs more memory, not necessarily more cards. 3 1GB GTX560ti s would not preform any beter than a 1GB GTX570, as both will run out of memory.

but what if say i wanted to play a game and used all 3 monitors for that game, wuold that make all 3 in to one big resolution?
 
ok, good to know, and just a random question, is there really a purpose to have a motherboard with two cpu sockets, or is that just extreme overkill?
 
that is mainly for servers and workstations these days. It would be massive overkill unless you have a program (not games, but business programs) that use many more than 12 threads (current max on HT 990x). 2x 990x would be 24 threads, and most programs are still not using 6!
